Answer 5

The central idea in Karl Marx's "The Communist Manifesto" is that all of human history is driven by a class struggle between the poor and the rich, that is, the weak and the powerful, in society. In connection with this central idea, Marx's highly influential text also claims that, eventually, capitalism will be converted to socialism, which will in turn transform into communism.

Answer 6

Marx's main ideas in The Communist Manifesto were:

• Capitalism is the source of exploitation of the proletariat (people who own nothing but the right to sell their own labor) by the bourgeoisie (people who own and control the means of production).
• Capitalism will force more and more workers to realize they are being exploited and always will be.
• Capitalism has inherent contradictions which eventually cause itself to collapse.
• The collapse will come when the proletariat is large enough and united enough to seize the means of production from the bourgeoisie and impose a socialist regime.
• The socialist regime will exist for a long period of time and evolve into communism.

The work ends with Marx exhorting the workingmen of all countries to unite.

Answer 7

The major elements of The Communist Manifesto are:

• That society consists of the struggle between different social classes. In the industrial at present the classes are the bourgeoisie (the owners and controllers of the means of production and employers of workers) and proletariat (the wage worker who owns nothing but the right to sell his own labor).
• That the nature of any society is determined by its means of production. Present society became capitalist when the factories replaced the individual artisan in order to meet growing needs of newly found markets.
• Capitalism created the present classes of bourgeoisie and proletariat and by its nature, capitalism creates a larger and larger class of proletariat as more and more factories are made.
• Capitalism contains the seed of its own destruction, because of the inevitable creation of this class of proletariat.

• At some point the proletariat will be large enough and united enough to take the means of production away from their bougeois owners and overthrow the capitalist system
• The overthrow of the capitalism would result in the institution by the workers of socialism.
• Socialism would evolve into communism over time as people become used to the idea that they no longer work for their individual benefit but for the community of all.

Marx's transition would occur naturally by the forces of capitalism; therefore it was inevitable that capitalism would die out and be replaced by socialism. Socialism would in turn die out and evolve into communism. Nothing could hold back this process.
